Democrats and Republicans are aligned on trans erasure now.

Fucking idiot Dems think it’ll stop there I guess.

I don’t understand why Americans aren’t marching to war against this shit, it’s taking root.

It’s not about the elections it’s about who gets the support and opportunity and resources to win elections.

A footrace can be executed completely fairly and transparently but if you need to buy special expensive shoes to participate and you receive them at someone else’s discretion and you need to join one of two private clubs to get an invitation and the leaders and members of those clubs also apply discretion then a lot of unfair choices and decisions are being made before the starter pistol goes off.

No offense intended then :)

I guess it both still applies and also doesn’t, wishing you the best through what might be challenging times ahead and likewise for myself here in Canada. Our right wing turn has taken a sharp turn back recently but we’re not out of the woods yet.

Even before October 7 Israel routinely killed Palestinians nearly every day across the West Bank and Gaza, that’s not an exaggeration. Single digit killings is as close to peace as Palestinians get.

stop externalizing the problem, if you Americans don’t learn that there are systemic problems with your country after this and just consider yourself saved when Trump is gone, you’re never going to break this cycle

Yeah they don’t realize they’re getting into an Afghanistan or Vietnam but where their homeland is wide open to cross border attacks.

your braindead take is exactly how you got into this mess

It’s all vice signalling

This Joint Chiefs? https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/clyr2xvn4dpo

Guy kicked off the thread by wishing bad things on genocide protestors, I find it hard to believe they care about these issues. In any other country they’d be a conservative

🤔 like protesting genocide and pressuring the party to select a progressive candidate? But that’s illegal and everyone that did that were secret Trump supporters. You’re just supposed to vote blue.

how’d you know I’m Donald Trump? this is my alt. Idiot

Just like the DNC and Democrat party leaders you think the solution is to blame progressives and keep attacking the left.

Take some responsibility for your loss.

I don’t disagree with you, my position is that I think people should have done damage mitigation by voting Harris in, but people that couldn’t stomach supporting genocide are not my enemy.

I’m just betting that the people rushing to these threads to smugly feel superior for voting were also the ones trying to silence any opposition to Biden and Harris for their bad positions. The vibe in any discussion on Lemmy was “if you mention Palestine you’re a Trump supporter” and those same pieces of shit are now saying “told you so” as if the way forward is to do LESS resistance.

That’s what I’m talking about. Congrats, you voted and lost. Maybe don’t fucking suppress actual progress the whole time between elections. If these people joined the left in holding Democrats accountable many elections ago, FUCKING GENOCIDE wouldn’t have been a background policy common to both parties.

Now they’re still finger pointing at the people who actually demand more from their politicians.

“Vote blue no matter who” got us here, THAT’S apathy.

lol and maybe you can take 5 minutes to vote on the second worst suggestion for how things should be run when someone thinks about it for you

wanna know what it might have looked like if millions of people that couldn’t stomach voting Democrat did so?

every single election in my adult life.

when genocide is in the overton window all you can do is brace for impact.

USA is collapsing, and best we can do now is hope for a better future in its ashes. Delaying it for 20 years by letting the Democrats get away with more and more and more wasn’t gonna change that.

when genocide is squarely in the middle of the overton window, maybe it was too late to act.

I’m tired of you “liberals” looking for every opportunity to punch left instead of facing your real enemies. You’re feeling smug because you did the one and only political action you’re aware of, which is to tick a box every few years.

Every single bit of progress was led by people doing more, by people standing up, by people applying pressure between election days.

I’d trade every liberal that’s now crying with their tail between their legs waiting for a chance to vote for those principled people who were applying real pressure to the government to resist genocide. Guess what: most of them also still voted blue.

All of you “vote blue no matter who” dogs barking at anyone who even dared to demand better from the Democrats are why that party has become complacent and completely and utterly useless. If you were more like the ones wanting more, if you joined them years ago instead of allowing the bare minimum of being “less bad” to be the only fucking platform of the Democrats for my entire adult life, then there would have been a party worth voting for and a party that’s fighting back now.

They’re lazy, out of touch, useless politicians, and YOU are to blame.

Give it another month and there won’t be independent surveys
